Before he is assassinated Caesar is shown as a cocky person he said in the text ‘I am as constant as the northern star’ this is a very well known star, as in the bible it is said that Mary and others followed the star, Caesar is saying that people will follow him and that he is great he also says ‘wilt thou lift up Olympus’ he is asking if anyone else will lift up Olympus other then himself, the way I see it as being said is that he is laughing as he says it, asking a very sarcastic question almost belittling anyone who he asks, he appears very egotistical and unapproachable, this is very smart as Shakespeare needs to show why they would kill him so showing him in this way gives us all a vendetta against him.
